The Bois Bungalow

It's official - we are done with the downstairs bathroom! It has gone through several smaller renovations, but we have finished the final remodel! It has been nice to enjoy our new bathroom and think about future projects. We chose to stick with the classic subway tile and beadboard to keep the bathroom looking timeless.
